Feng Mu was not actually adept at solving cases; his limited knowledge about detective work came entirely from having watched 3,000 episodes of "Detective Conan" in his previous life.
When it came to actually applying this knowledge to investigations, it was still far from enough and too abstract, making it hard to implement in real life.
But this did not discourage Feng Mu, because in his understanding, investigating a case and solving one were entirely different concepts.
Investigating requires meticulous logical reasoning and an interconnected chain of evidence to restore the whole truth of a case, whereas solving a case needs just... a good story?!!
A story is made up of the trifecta of time, place, and character.
In other words, during the process of solving a case, Feng Mu could directly utilize and incorporate verified elements into the story. These real elements could lend authenticity to the narrative.
